At March 31, 2016, the Company had an aggregate of 2.0 million equity instruments outstanding that were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. These equity instruments were comprised of approximately 96,000 shares of restricted common stock with a weighted average grant date fair value of $7.37 and approximately 2.0 million RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.82. These equity instruments may have a dilutive impact on future EPS.
